“It looks like it will be a lot of fun for the community,” Perfect said. “It should bring in business for our merchants and visitors to our town.

The Redskins under Snyder have mostly been known for dysfunction and failure. In 21 years, Snyder has had seven full-time head coaches, four first-round quarterbacks, and only five playoff appearances. The Redskins’ .429 winning percentage in Snyder’s 21 years is sixth-worst in the NFL. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2005, haven’t been to the NFC Championship game since 1992, and, worst of all, are just 12-29 against the hated Cowboys under Snyder. … [Read more...] about Redskins appear to have hit rock bottom

The quirkiest in the class, this motel — in operation since 1938 — reinvented itself in 2017.

From the scraggly fynbos to the yearly explosion of wildflowers, the ecology here is unlike anything else on the planet. A fact to consider, this area accounts for just 0.5% of the area of Africa but is home to nearly 20% of the continent’s flora. That’s an amazing level of diversity and makes exploring this region a beautiful experience. One of the best ways to get out amongst the fields is by taking a wildflower safari like the one offered at the Grootbos Resort in Hermanus. Expert naturalists take guests out in a safari truck to experience the natural side of the area for a once in a lifetime experience. Even if you’re like me and have a marginal interest in such things, the shocking beauty of the region simply can’t be denied. … [Read more...] about 7 Under the Radar UNESCO World Heritage Sites I Love to Visit
